How much abuse can this take?

I am running a T56 with a 383 super ram motor. Will my 10 bolt be able to handle it with 3500 rpm launchs with street tires. I have richmond 3.73 gears and a HD torsen-zexel unit, the 299.99 one. I highly doubt moser axles will help because I think my ring gear is gonna be the weakest link. I have also heard that the Torsen-Zexel units can't take that much torque because of the worm gears inside. I don't wanna spend any more money into this rear if I know it can't any more abuse. If it can't take the abuse with these components then I will have to get a ford 9".

If you want the rear to last at least a little while, you need a girdle. Preferably the kind with the preload bolts. That will buy you some time, but i would start saving for the 9"

By the way, keep the street tires on there. Drag radials are instant death.
